(KTXL) — The California Department of Parks and Recreation announced their 2022 Governor's Historic Preservation Award Recipients on Thursday and one of the five buildings being recognized is in Sacramento. The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) Headquarters Building at 6201 S Street was one of two Northern California buildings to receive the award. '(The SMUD Headquarters Building) represents a highly successful private-public collaboration that preserved one of California's signature Modern era buildings along with an original 3,650-foot mural by world-renowned artist Wayne Thiebaud, that encircles the building's ground level walls and is the only mural ever created by the artist,' California Parks and Recreation wrote in their review of the building.
